<i>You are trying to access Inactive Account Manager from a Google Apps Account. Inactive Account Manager is only available for Google Accounts.</i><p>Google UI at its finest.
I have no idea when this was announced, if at all. I just came across this "Inactivity Account Manager" and thought of it as a "Dead man's switch" solution.<p>Under the "Add Trusted Contact" section, you can write a personal "atonement" email to whoever will receive your data. At least that's how the message to my wife is turning out :|
Sorry I didn't see this earlier. A fantastic tool, even if it's filling me with existential dread having to write these messages to my loved ones.<p>A really elegant solution to the "Dead man switch". I'm glad Google thought to do this. It may be a small thing, but it did really matter to me.
The first time I navigated to that page (by accident, I was exploring my Google account settings) I sat there looking at the screen puzzled. It took me almost 5 minutes to realize that this nebulous description actually meant the passing of the account owner.<p>Couldn't they label it more clearly?
